Applying for Financial Aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process is annual, meaning students must reapply for financial aid every year. The 2022-2023 FAFSA is now available online. 

How to Apply

Step 1: Submit the FAFSA by March 1 (School code 002972).

Step 2: Check your email for FAFSA results.

Step 3: Once you are admitted and given MyPack Portal login access, grant parents access to trusted individuals. 

Step 4: Check MyPack Portal to confirm that the FAFSA has been received.

Step 5: Submit any additional requested documentation promptly. 

Step 6: Submit the scholarship notification E-form to record outside resources.

For additional information on any of these steps please visit the Student Services Center. 

Due to the high number of FAFSA applications received, grant funding is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. This is why it is important to submit the FAFSA and any additional documentation, if required, as soon as possible. 

The FAFSA website has been redesigned and a mobile app has been developed to make it easier to complete the FAFSA. Students and parents can download the “myStudentAid” mobile app from the Apple App Store or from Google Play.
